ECOWAS chaired by Faure Gnassingbé sanctions Guinea Bissau

ECOWAS has just adopted "personal sanctions aimed at promoting the restoration of democratic governance and respect for the rule of law in the Republic of Guinea Bissau".

The Economic Community of West African States has sanctioned several Bissau-Guinean figures for their role in the political crisis in their country. Indeed, the Community space reproaches them for not having respected "the Bissau and Conakry Agreements which must apply with a view to the return of the democratic constitutional order".
"... despite the mediators no significant progress has been noted in respect of these agreements," continues the decision A / Dec.2.01 / 2018 of the West African institution. Therefore, the president of the conference of the institution which is none other than the Togolese president, suspends the participation of Guinea Bissau in the activities of the ECOWAS, forbids to travel the sanctioned personalities, freezes their "financial assets ... and of their families wherever they find. "

However, the decision signed by Faure Gnassingbé states that "The Monitoring Committee for the implementation of sanctions reserves the right to revise the list of persons sanctioned according to the evolution of the situation".
Let us recall that in several member countries of this West African space, democracy and the rule of law are in pain. In Togo, for example, opponents demand political alternation, good governance, the limitation of presidential terms, among others. The important points of the Global Political Agreement signed in 2006 by the political actors are still not implemented.

Oruko Amutorunwa (Pre-Destined Names) In Yorubaland

Ibeji (Twins) In Yoruba land, one of the most important things done when a child is born is to give the child a name. This comes after the child’s ritual birth, massage of specific body parts and other rites as well. Names are given to the child by the father, mother, grandparents (paternal and maternal) and some close relatives also. But sometimes, the circumstance of a child’s birth will automatically give the child a name. This name is known as ‘orúko àmútọ̀runwá’ (pre-destined or generic name) in Yorubaland.

Togo now has its plan to combat land degradation

Land degradation is a reality in Togo. According to figures put forward by the Ministry of the Environment, each year 4.14% of the land (nationally) succumb to the phenomenon. And it is in response to the problem that the Government launched last March, the Program of definition of the national targets on neutrality in land degradation (PDC / NDT). On Thursday in Lomé, environmental experts validated a document that will serve as a blueprint for sustainable land management in Togo. This document, which estimates that 23,500 hectares of land are degraded each year in Togo between 2000 and 2010, has already identified national targets assessed on the basis of indicators such as land use, net productivity or carbon. According to the Secretary General of the Ministry of Environment and Forest Resources, Sama Boundjouw, these targets and their measures to be validated will become guidelines for any actor involved in the fight against land degradation in Togo during the next twelve...
